Houston City Councilman Dave Martin invited residents to attend an informational open house, Wednesday, Nov. 15, to learn about the expansion of the Northeast Water Purification Plant, at 12121 N. Sam Houston Parkway East.

The meeting will be held at Woodcreek Middle School, at 14600 Woodson Park Drive in Houston, and will cover the same material as the Oct. 25 open house. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m., followed by the program at 7 p.m., and the meeting will conclude at 8 p.m.

The plant is expanding from the existing 80 million gallons per day (MGD) plant by 320 MGD through the construction of a new plant adjacent to the existing facilities. The new plant, Plant 2, will be constructed within the property boundaries of the existing 152-acre treatment plant site.

This expansion is a collaborative effort undertaken by the City of Houston in order to provide additional treated water capacity for the city and the four authorities that will participate in the project in accordance with the second supplement to the water supply contracts water demands and the requirements of the Harris-Galveston Subsidence District as well as the Fort Bend Subsidence District that restrict groundwater usage. The expansion is expected to be completed in 2024.
